Employing the Bonn-Gatchina partial wave analysis framework (PWA), we have analyzed HADES data of the reaction $p(3.5GeV)+pto pK^{+}Lambda$. This reaction might contain information about the kaonic cluster $ppK^-$ via its decay into $pLambda$. Due to interference effects in our coherent description of the data, a hypothetical $overline{K}NN$ (or, specifically $ppK^-$) cluster signal must not necessarily show up as a pronounced feature (e.g. a peak) in an invariant mass spectra like $pLambda$. Our PWA analysis includes a variety of resonant and non-resonant intermediate states and delivers a good description of our data (various angular distributions and two-hadron invariant mass spectra) without a contribution of a $overline{K}NN$ cluster. At a confidence level of CL$_{s}$=95% such a cluster can not contribute more than 2-12% to the total cross section with a $pK^{+}Lambda$ final state, which translates into a production cross-section between 0.7 $mu b$ and 4.2 $mu b$, respectively. The range of the upper limit depends on the assumed cluster mass, width and production process.
The reaction p(@3.5,GeV)+p -> p+Lambda + K^+ can be studied to search for the existence of kaonic bound states like ppK^- leading to this final state. This effort has been motivated by the assumption that in p+p collisions the Lambda(1405) resonance can act as a doorway to the formation of the kaonic bound states. The status of this analysis within the HADES collaboration, with particular emphasis on the comparison to simulations, is shown in this work and the deviation method utilized by the DISTO collaboration in a similar analysis is discussed. The outcome suggests the employment of a partial wave analysis to disentangle the different contributions to the measured pK^+Lambda final state.
We study the production of Sigma^+-pi^+-pK^+ particle quartets in p+p reactions at 3.5 GeV kinetic beam energy. The data were taken with the HADES experiment at GSI. This report evaluates the contribution of resonances like Lambda(1405$, Sigma(1385)^0, Lambda(1520), Delta(1232), N^* and K^*0 to the Sigma^+- pi^-+ p K+ final state. The resulting simulation model is compared to the experimental data in several angular distributions and it shows itself as suitable to evaluate the acceptance corrections properly.
The reaction pp -> K+ + (Lambda p) was measured at Tp=1.953 GeV and Theta = 0 deg with a high missing mass resolution in order to study the Lambda p final state interaction. The large final state enhancement near the Lambda p threshold can be described using the standard Jost-function approach. The singlet and triplet scattering lengths and effective ranges are deduced by fitting simultaneously the Lambda p invariant mass spectrum and the total cross section data of the free Lambda p scattering.
The aim of the present analysis is to determine the relative production cross sections of the $Lambda$(1405) and $Sigma(1385)^{0}$ resonances in p+p collisions at E$_{kin}$=3.5 GeV measured with HADES. Upper and lower limits have been determined for the ratio $sigma_{(Sigma(1385)^{0}+p+K^{+})}/sigma_{(Lambda(1405)+p+K^{+})}=0.76_{-0.26}^{+0.54}$. The knowledge of this ratio is an essential input for the analysis of the decay $Lambda(1405)rightarrowSigma^{pm}pi^{mp}$, where an unambiguous separation of the $Lambda$(1405) and $Sigma(1385)^{0}$ signals is not possible.
Using a sample of $1.06 times 10^{8}$ $psi(2S)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, the decay $psi(2S) to p bar{p}eta$ is studied. A partial wave analysis determines that the intermediate state N(1535) with a mass of $1524pm5^{+10}_{-4}$ MeV/$c^2$ and a width of $130^{+27+57}_{-24-10}$ MeV/$c^2$ is dominant in the decay; the product branching fraction is determined to be $B(psi(2S) to N(1535)bar{p})times B(N(1535)to peta)+c.c. = (5.2pm0.3^{+3.2}_{-1.2})times 10^{-5}$. Furthermore, the branching fraction of $psi(2S) to eta p bar{p}$ is measured to be $(6.4pm0.2pm0.6)times 10^{-5}$.
